We analyse the structure of equilibria of a coagulation-fragmentation-death model of silicosis. We present exact multiplicity results in the particular case of piecewise-constant coefficients, results on existence and non-existence of…
In this paper, existence and uniqueness of solutions to a non-linear, initial value problem is studied. In particular, we consider a special type of problem which physically represents the time evolution of particle number density resulted…
Compartmental models are widely used in mathematical epidemiology to describe dynamics of infection disease. A new SIS-PDE model, recently derived by Chalub and Souza, is based on a diffusion-drift approximation of probability density in a…
Undulation of infection levels, usually called waves, are not well understood. In this paper we propose a mathematical model that exhibits undulation and decay towards a stable state. The model is a re-interpretation of the original…
In this paper we study the discrete coagulation--fragmentation models with growth, decay and sedimentation. We demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of classical global solutions provided the linear processes are sufficiently strong.…
We consider a model of liquid crystals, based on a nonlinear hyperbolic system of differential equations, that represents an inviscid version of the model proposed by Qian and Sheng. A new concept of dissipative solution is proposed, for…
The aim of this paper is to show an existence theorem for a kinetic model of coagulation-fragmentation with initial data satisfying the natural physical bounds, and assumptions of finite number of particles and finite $L^p$-norm. We use the…
The illness-death model for chronic conditions is combined with a renewal equation for the number of newborns taking into account possibly different fertility rates in the healthy and diseased parts of the population. The resulting boundary…

Some recent works reveal that there are models of differential equations for the mean and variance of infected individuals that reproduce the SIS epidemic model at some point. This stochastic SIS epidemic model can be interpreted as a…
We introduce a notion of viscosity solutions for a general class of elliptic-parabolic phase transition problems. These include the Richards equation, which is a classical model in filtration theory. Existence and uniqueness results are…
In this article we have successfully obtained an exact solution of a particular case of SIR and SIS epidemic models given by Kermack and Mckendrick [1] for constant population, which are described by coupled nonlinear differential…
This work is devoted to the study of the initial boundary value problem for a general non isothermal model of capillary fluids derived by J.E Dunn and J.Serrin (1985), which can be used as a phase transition model. We distinguish two cases,…
An integrable discretization of the SIR model with vaccination is proposed. The conserved quantities of the continuous model are inherited to the discrete model through the discretization, since the discretization is based on the…
A family of discrete non-autonomous SIRVS models with general incidence is obtained from a continuous family of models by applying Mickens non-standard discretization method. Conditions for the permanence and extinction of the disease and…

This note aims at providing a rather informal and hopefully accessible overview of the fairly long and technical work [4]. In that paper, the authors established new global-in-time existence results for admissible solutions of nonlinear…
In this paper we study a nonlinear reaction-diffusion system which models an infectious disease caused by bacteria such as those for cholera. One of the significant features in this model is that a certain portion of the recovered human…
